How much torque the standard clutch can handle on a 172?

[Eros]

I´m planning to put cam´s and possibly nitro on my 172 and I wonder if I would need a new clutch (I possibly would). A paddle clutch may be too much... So I´m asking you guys...

PD: I´m from Argentina...

Gearbox would break first at a guess

get the clutch changed for an uprated one if it's done 35,000 miles+, otherwise just burn through the old one a little quicker than normal. It'll probably take the power. Unless your running a lot of gas.
Get some pics/guides of you NOS install if you do it!
